Chapter 18: Out of the Shell
The matter was settled, and the quota was given to Huo Yun'er, and Huo Hai, like everyone else, relied on his own strength to fight for it. After that, it was the elders of each of the participants who called their children back to explain some things.
Even Huo Hai was called back by Huo Kai, and after testing his combat skills, he gave Huo Hai a dagger. "This is what your grandfather used back then, the Xuan-level treasure knife, you took self-defense, and completed this trial by the way. ”
Although Huo Hai's performance is good, his age and lack of time to practice combat skills are hard injuries. If you don't have something good, you can't win. A Xuan-level dagger should be enough. Huo Xingxin silently thought, the Xuan-level dagger, the weapon used by the master of the Spirit Realm. I'm afraid it's not easy for other families to come up with such a hand.
"I know that this time I will definitely get a place with my own efforts. Huo Hai looked serious. To gain a foothold in this world, how can such a small problem stop you. That's better than being the eldest young master in the family for a lifetime.
After Huo Kai was powerful, Huo Hai also returned home alone. instructed his subordinates, in addition to serving meals regularly, the rest of the time was basically spent practicing combat skills, and even the use of their own spiritual power.
If you haven't reached the realm of the spirit, the spiritual power can't be used freely, but it can be used to strengthen your fists and feet. Besides, his real killer weapon is not his own strength, but the insects he raises.
"Hmph, I haven't reached the Xuan level, who has such a convenient Gu worm as me to use. Huo Hai was confident about this competition in his heart. In addition to cultivation, Huo Hai has been communicating with Xiao Jin for the rest of the time. From time to time, he uses spiritual power to feed Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin has become more colorful in the past few days, and his strength is also increasing.
I don't know if it's because of Huo Hai's increased spiritual power, or because of other reasons. Huo Hai could sense that Xiao Jin's own cultivation was gradually about to reach the realm of spiritual blood. and other masters of the Idle Spirit Body Realm are not Xiao Jin's opponents at all.
If you use your own venom to carry out a sneak attack, even a master of the Spirit Bone Realm may die under Xiao Jinzui. Today, Xiaojin has become his biggest hole card. It is even more valuable than the Xuan-level dagger that his father handed over to him.
Time passed imperceptibly in Huo Hai's cultivation. The foundation is strong, and the cultivation of spiritual techniques is also very fast. In the cultivation of the spiritual blood realm, Huo Hai's progress is very fast, even if he is deliberately suppressed, he can't do it. In the past few days, Huo Hai has even stopped cultivating spiritual power. He didn't want to break through to the Spirit Bone Realm that day, so that the Blood Refining Spirit Array would not be able to be used.
Just when there were still three days left to compete, the Star Gu that had been refined earlier had finally reached the moment to break out of its shell. "Hey, it's only coming out now, but it's timely. "Huo Hai, who is connected with Gu worms, felt it for a long time for the first time.
Coming to the corner of his courtyard, Huo Hai took out the jar he had placed here earlier. Come under the tree and open the jar. The jars that Huo Hai refined were not one or two, but dozens of them.
If these things break out of their shells, at least hundreds, or even thousands, of Star Gu will be born. It is expected that these Star Gu will be very small. Huo Hai is a special prescription specially concocted, according to this recipe, the Gu worms that are refined will not be too big. opened the jar, and some small hard shells dotted in the jar appeared in Huo Hai's eyes.
Reaching out and poking a hard shell, Huo Hai felt a hard feeling in his hand. With a roll of his eyes, Huo Hai smiled slightly, and took out the Xuan-level dagger he had just gotten. Then use a dagger, on top of a hard shell, with a gentle stroke.
The dagger felt as if it had scratched something hard, and upon closer inspection, there was only a small mark on the hard shell. You must know that this is a Xuan-level dagger, even if Huo Hai does not use force, the sharpness is not something that ordinary things can block.
This time, even if it is steel, there will not be only such a small trace. His own Star Gu actually exceeded his own thoughts, this layer of shell won more than steel. "Finally, it didn't waste my time in vain, it took so much elixir spiritual power, and it took so long, and it was really not in vain. Huo Hai's face showed joy.
With these things, the possibility of passing the test on your own is even greater. Forming a large area of star Gu, let alone the test, the masters of the strong killing spirit bone realm are very easy. Even if he is a master of the Spirit Realm, Huo Hai has a certain degree of certainty.
"Click" just when Huo Hai's heart was happy, a slight sound sounded in his ears. Huo Hai's eyes froze, and he searched carefully inside the jar. Finally, Huo Hai saw what was making the sound, wasn't this a hard shell.
Huo Hai's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "This, how is this possible, this thing is really a star Gu, what I saw in the book, does it have such a good effect." "Star Gu, but Huo Haigen never saw it in an unknown book, and then studied it indiscriminately. If you can refine it, it's already very good. I didn't expect it to be not only successful, but also so terrifying.
The sound that just made was indeed a hard shell, but it was not the sound of a hard shell hitting the jar. It's the sound of the hard shell breaking, yes, it's the hard shell breaking, which starts from the inside of the hard shell and slowly breaks outward.
Huo Hai stared at the hard shell with wide eyes, and he only now realized that this layer of hard shell was not the beetle's own hard shell at all, but a layer of insect cocoons. What is inside is the real worm, and if the worm is to be born, it must break out of the hard shell.
This kind of insect cocoon, which is not much harder than stainless steel, was actually broken through by insects from the inside. The hard shell was bitten by insects, and what came out of it was pitch black with a little bit of reflection. From a distance, it looks like a small beetle like a star in the starry sky. The little beetle is very cute, and it doesn't feel ugly at all.
If you look closely, you can even see the simple and cute appearance of the insects. But what these bugs are doing now makes Huo Hai feel less cute. Just crawled out of the hard cocoon.
These beetles actually turned around and ate those cocoons that were no worse than steel. That's right, just eat, these beetles have quite good teeth, such a hard thing, under their mouthparts, like a fluffy snack.
The sound of clicking and clicking kept sounding, and in Huo Hai's surprised and even shocked gaze, the cocoon was eaten by these insects. After eating, the insects seemed to be very satisfied, and lay quietly in place. The body didn't get bigger, even a little smaller than it had just been. Huo Hai didn't dare to underestimate these things, and he didn't see Xiao Jin looking at these insects, constantly sending out dangerous signals.
Xiao Jin seems to be dangerous things, how can Huo Hai underestimate it. As time went by, more and more beetles broke out of their shells, and with Huo Hai, a person with a sense of intimacy, suppressing them, these insects didn't mess around.
All the insects lay quietly in the jar, and in a short period of time, Huo Hai found that there were more than five hundred insects that had hatched. But here, the bugs that haven't broken their shells can't come out.
Huo Hai could feel that before these insects could make a sound, the breath of life began to decline continuously. "Hey, after all, it's a Gu worm, Gu worms have always been cruel, even when they are born. Huo Haizhi said, these insects can't get out.
At this time, the bugs, which were originally quiet, suddenly rushed forward. Those insects that could no longer come out of the cocoons of heavy insects were directly attacked by other beetles. The hard mouthparts make it easy to bite and eat the cocoon. Later, even the bugs inside were eaten. After eating the beetle, the Star Gu sent a message of barbarism and excitement.
Obviously, the benefits of eating the cocoons left behind by the death of the same kind are very great.
Suddenly, Huo Hai patted his head. "Ah, I almost forgot about this, stop it for me, don't eat it. Also, all the dead cocoons hit me. Huo Hai gave the order, and the beetles had no choice but to stop.
Huo Hai smiled slightly, controlling this large number of insects of the same species requires skill. Huo Hai can't control so many insects at the same time, what he needs is a worm king. You have to cultivate the king of this group of star Gu first, and turn this insect into a Gu worm that is closely related to you. Then let it control its own kind, and it will be much easier for itself.
Huo Hai glanced at it, closed his eyes and perceived, and soon found the strongest one. This one is the one that has just eaten the most eggs. "Alright, that's you. Come on, I'll give you a little benefit first. ”
Huo Hai squeezed out a drop of blood, and with his own aura, he fed it to this star Gu. Then he closed his eyes slightly, and silently chanted the strange wrinkles in the innermost part. This is a kind of surroundings that can make it easier for Gu worms to recognize their masters, and it is seen in the book left by grandma. Huo Hai didn't know if it was useful. But even the Gu worms have come out, this thing should be useful.
With the recitations around him, Huo Hai felt that his connection with this Star Gu had gradually become closer, and he could even sense every move of the Star Gu. Be able to know the meaning of the star Gu, and convey your own meaning more accurately.
Huo Hai didn't know what this was for, in short, his connection with this star Gu even surpassed Xiao Jin. "Hehe, I didn't expect it to really work. Don't worry, I'll read it to you later. Come on, you eat all these eggs first. ”
As soon as he said hello, Huo Hai ordered the Star Gu to start devouring the dead insect eggs in front of him. The king of a group must far surpass the other insects. If there are other insects whose strength surpasses the insect king, is the insect king still considered the insect king? After eating a large amount of insect cocoons, the insect king really began to gradually improve. The strength has continued to rise, even reaching the level of Xiaojin.
"In the future, I'll call you Xiaoxing. Ha Luha, I'm really a genius, I actually really refined the Star Gu. A few points of trial, you must wait for me. Huo Hai was excited, and actually shouted loudly.
